We designed novel diketopyrrolopyrrole polymer based nanoparticles (DPP-IID-FA), which exhibited strong light absorption and excellent photothermal conversion in the NIR optical window, and displayed high biocompatibility and photostability. Furthermore, our nanoparticles could be efficiently uptaken by cancer cells and exhibited outstanding anticancer ability both in vitro and in vivo under NIR-II laser irradiation.

Although photodynamic immunotherapy represents a promising therapeutic approach against malignant tumors, its efficacy is often hampered by the hypoxia and immunosuppressive conditions within the tumor microenvironment (TME) following photodynamic therapy (PDT). In this study, we report the design guidelines towards efficient Type-I semiconducting polymer photosensitizer and modify the best-performing polymer into a hypoxia-tolerant polymeric photosensitizer prodrug (HTPS) for cancer photo-immunotherapy. HTPS not only performs Type-I PDT process to partially overcome the limitation of hypoxic tumors in PDT by recycling oxygen but also specifically releases a Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription-3 (STAT3) inhibitor (Niclosamide) in response to a cancer biomarker in the TME.

Article Synopsis
- - The text discusses new aerogels with low thermal conductivity that are integrated with spC-conjugated porous polymers (spC-CPPs), which serve as effective photosensitizers for applications like seawater desalination and uranium extraction.
- - These spC-CPP aerogels are made using a method called surface-initiated aldol polycondensation (SI-AP), which allows for robust aerogels with excellent properties for energy conversion and uranium adsorption.
- - Notably, the DHA-TMT aerogel shows exceptional performance in evaporation (1.55 kg/m²/h) and uranium extraction (up to 1200 mg/m²), while maintaining stability in harsh environments, highlighting a promising strategy for

Article Synopsis
- Hypoxia and the short lifespan of reactive oxygen species (ROS) limit the effectiveness of photodynamic therapy (PDT) in treating tumors, prompting the need for improved therapies.
- Researchers developed a semiconducting polymer-based photosensitizer, PCPDTBT, which significantly enhances ROS generation when encapsulated in a mesoporous silica matrix, resulting in better PDT performance.
- The addition of Fe ions increases drug loading capacity and enables continuous ROS production through a Fenton reaction after laser treatment, allowing for improved treatments in hypoxic tumor environments.

It is highly challenging to reproducibly prepare semiconducting polymers with targeted molecular weight tailored for next-generation photovoltaic applications. Once such an easily accessible methodology is established, which can not only contribute to overcome the current limitation of the statistically determined nature of semiconducting polymers, but also facilitate rapid incorporation into the broad synthetic chemists' toolbox. Here, we describe a simple yet robust ultrasonication-assisted Stille polymerization for accessing semiconducting polymers with high-precision tailored molecular weights (from low to ultrahigh molecular weight ranges) while mitigating their interbatch variations.

This paper reports a new mechanism for particulate matter detection and identification. Three types of carbon particles are synthesized with different functional groups to mimic the real particulates in atmospheric aerosol. After exposing polymer-based organic devices in organic field effect transistor (OFET) architectures to the particle mist, the sensitivity and selectivity of the detection of different types of particles are shown by the current changes extracted from the transfer curves.
